Newton woman arrested following crash

The Texas Department of Public Safety arrested a Newton woman following an investigation into a crash on County Road 4123, east of state Highway 87, that occurred Thursday, December 28.

The preliminary crash investigation indicates that a 2016 Chrysler passenger car was traveling east. It is reported that the driver was traveling at a speed which was unsafe on a loose gravel road and lost control, causing the passenger car to travel into the ditch and overturn. Troopers on scene located suspected promethazine and prescription pills.

The driver, identified as 23-year-old Angel Sutton of Newton, was not injured. Sutton was placed under arrest for two counts of possession of a dangerous drug, both misdemeanors.

This is an ongoing investigation, and no further information is available at this time.
